1/2# green chiles, seeded and stemmed
2 cloves garlic peeled

white onions are traditional but you can use yellow onions or sweet onions
choose your pepper to choose your heat (jalepeno/less, serrano/more)
you can use vinegar in place of the lime juice
If you don't have canning salt, use 1T kosher salt
